The
Saronic islands
of Aegina, Poros, Angistri, Hydra, Dokos, Spetses
and the
Peloponnesian coast offer smooth sailing sheltered from
strong winds. Here, the Meltemi (winds from the North, usually
strong especially in July and August) does not blow as regularly
as it does in the Cyclades or the Dodecanese, if it does
blow from North to North East, its strength is usually about
force 4-5, it is normally less around the Methana peninsula
and Poros.
If
the Meltemi does not blow, the wind is generally from the
South, force 2-3. In the Hydra Gulf and Argolic
Gulf, the wind is mostly from the South East, blowing
force 3-5 dying down at night.
